I'm guessing the millions of people - including the disproportionate number of Black people - whose wealth was wiped out by the crash have not forgotten about it. But something tells me you emerged unscathed!

What you just posted is stupider than anything Tooze has ever said -- far stupider, in fact, than just about anything any other human being has ever said.

My God Green Beret Anthony Agular recounts how a 5-year-old Palestinian kissed his hands to thank him for the food Agular gave him Seconds later, Israeli soldiers shot and killed the starving child ISIS prisoners were treated with more dignity than these children, Agular says

It is not possible to find the words for this.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

It's fine that most major papers haven't reviewed this crappy book; unfortunately, the NYT Daily podcast, with its 3 million listeners, featured its authors.

French President Macron says France will recognize Palestine as a state French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that France will recognize Palestine as a state, amid snowballing global anger over people starving in Gaza

This was expected, but the timing is no coincidence, and yes it matters. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The largest union in America, the three million member-strong National Educators Association, has voted to *cut all ties* with the Anti-Defamation League, citing the ADL’s opposition to Palestinian rights and antiracism.

Israeli forces were ordered to shoot at Palestinians waiting for food at GHF sites and they've killed hundreds. Sites are primarily in the south so they advance Israel's goal of forced displacement.

Not the most irritating thing here, but I can't get past the grammatical error in the first sentence of the second paragraph.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

And this is the same firm that employed Netanyahu back in the 70s, in his pre-genocide days.

BCG was Netanyahu's employer before he moved into his career as a genocidaire.

"mostly" does a lot of work. You're criticizing me for saying something that's partly relevant? It's relevant" bc Dems have validated Trump's bullshit battle vs anti-semitism, treating it as sincere. I'll grant, tho, that they could call him an anti-semite regardless, even w their muddied message.

A functioning opposition party -- and one w leaders who didn't largely share Trump's politics re. Israel-Palestine -- wouldn't stop calling him an anti-semite, because he is.

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

Agreed, though that description of the bill is poor. The bill would prohibit tax-exempt orgs from funding illegal settlements. In other words, it would prevent New Yorkers from subsidizing the illegal settlements.

Positive? I doubt it. My guess is he wants to be seen as a great man of history (great in the neutral sense) & he's well on his way, for all the wrong reasons. The dream of the GOP becoming a working class party, always illusory, is dead.

No need for hefty volumes to explain it. Trump never cared about working class people.

No Rent Freeze as Board Approves Hikes Up To 4.5% The vote came after Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral nomination in part on his promise to install a board that will freeze the rent next year for stabilized apartments.

In his final year as Mayor, Eric Adams and his hand-picked Rent Guidelines Board delivered one last blow to struggling rent-stabilized tenants.

New Yorkers are desperate for city government that lowers costs instead of raising rents. Change is coming.

Excellent piece.

Today's endorsement by the hundreds of unions and more than a million workers of @nyclabor.bsky.social is a profound honor and a responsibility to deliver for working people. I will strive to live up to it each and every day as your Mayor.

Big news: The NYC Central Labor Council - AFL-CIO just announced that it is endorsing Zohran

"you taught the world about freedom and it's time for us to return the favor"

hot damn

I'd like be lil mean bc her post is bad. She suggests that ZM is unintentionally anti-semitic and that the Palestinian solidarity movement is anti-semitic. That graph in which she claims that movement leaders (and scholarly pieces?!) routinely blame local ills on Israel is dishonest or delusional.

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it

right, this is gonna be Zohran wants billionaires dead!

But this question we like.
Zohran, like Bernie & AOC, is an anti-billionairist.

Personally, my approach to the young progressive who just swept the primary, is going to be the next NYC mayor and clearly represents the future of the party would not be to go on TV and lie about him, infuriating his newly energized base for no reason.

But I’m not Democratic leadership.
